Synopsis

First time director Antonio Campos's downbeat tale of teenage alienation in which a public school pupil confronts death in the digital age. High school loner Robert (Ezra Miller) spends his spare time surfing the net for hardcore pornography and random clips of unrelated items that appeal to him. Given a digital video camera to record footage for an audiovisual class, Robert happens to be present when two popular girl students accidentally die from a drugs overdose. With the school in mourning, Robert is given the job of producing the school's official memorial video. But as he becomes immersed in his task, he soon finds himself becoming even more alienated from those around him.
